BREAKING NEWS: Baldoni’s legal team amid his legal battle with Lively over the making of ‘It Ends with Us’
The statement has been shared by Baldoni’s legal team amid his legal battle with Lively over the making of ‘It Ends with Us’
Justin Baldoni and his legal team have released a statement allegedly drafted by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds calling for the actor-director to take responsibility for It Ends with Us’ bad press.
According to an amended complaint and timeline of events posted on Baldoni’s new website amid his continued legal battle with Lively, the Jane the Virgin actor, 41, claims that Lively, 37, and her husband Reynolds, 48, prepared a statement for him and his firm asking him to take the blame for the “troubled production” of It Ends with Us, as well as the negative press Lively received while promoting the film. Baldoni and his team say they refused to issue the statement.
The statement was allegedly written in August 2024 by Lively and Reynolds after they were left “furious” at what they believed was unfair positioning of Lively in the promotion of the film, according to Baldoni’s claims. According to the complaint’s timeline of events, the couple claimed that as actor-director of the film, Baldoni was allowed to discuss “more serious messaging” during its promotion.
The statement reads, “It Ends with Us was a troubled production which we take full accountability for. We are very sorry to everyone we caused upset to privately and publicly.”
“Blake Lively, [author] Colleen Hoover, the entire cast and crew led with professionalism every step of the way, any negativity aimed at them is ours to own,” the statement continued. “We mutually agreed that the cast would be promoting the film separately and understood why.”
The Jane the Virgin actor alleges that Lively and Reynolds drafted the statement in August 2024, frustrated over how Lively was being portrayed in the film’s promotion. The statement, which Baldoni says he was pressured to release, reads:
“It Ends with Us was a troubled production which we take full accountability for. We are very sorry to everyone we caused upset to privately and publicly.”
